C511 – Different Sizes of Communication
“Hey, hey, why are you here? Give me an answer.” Lo Xin also sent a message to the ship through the Spiritual Link.
The octagonal ship only replied after a long time, “We are trapped and cannot leave.”
“We are trapped. Are we trapped in the ship?” Lo Xin shouted in her mind.
She did not get a reply this time.
“What exactly is he doing? Why is his reaction so slow?” Lo Xin wrinkled her nose in puzzlement. Because of the Brain Insect’s suggestion, she did not dare to rashly probe the target.
This time, it was a full five to six minutes before the spaceship slowly replied, but it was still the same sentence, “We are trapped and cannot leave.”
“I am currently locking onto the source of the target’s signal to determine the exact location of the source.”
The Brain Insect realized that the Spiritual Link this time was a little strange. It was not like usual where it could directly tell what the other party was thinking through its thoughts. The signal it felt during the communication was very weak. It could only be captured by the highly concentrated Spirit.
“It’s just like in another dimension.”
After Lo Ya learned of this situation, she began to mobilize the entire swarm of Spirit to establish a strong link to collect more obvious signals. Then, he discovered that the source of the signal was actually very small.
“Confirmed that the target is in an area the size of an atom. When we are unable to capture their signals, it seems that it is very difficult for them to detect us. In other words, the signal is weak in two directions.”
“Atomic size?” Lo Ya temporarily possessed Lo Xin’s body and asked the Cerebrate Bacteria beside her.
“It is hard to believe, but there is indeed something in the atom that is talking to us. The signal that was sent to the octagonal body did not actually receive a reply. Instead, it replied to a certain atom inside.”
“Is that so?” Lo Ya nodded. After thinking for a while, she made up her mind and said, “How about this, let the fleet leave ten billion kilometers away and then use the insects to test the octagonal ship in front of us to see if it can break through.”
“Alright.”
Since Lo Ya had already said so, what else could the Brain Insect say? They could only obey.
This time, This time, the operation was carried out very quickly. Not long after, there was only a pile of bugs left on the scene.
The first step to breaking through was to use the Sickle Insect to attack.
Without thinking, it was impossible to break through the hull.
After that… He gradually increased the strength of his attacks and even replaced it with a large equivalent weight’s hydrogen bomb.
Finally, he increased the power of the hydrogen bomb to 50 billion tons of TNT equivalent weight before barely shaking its protective layer. After breaking through the outer layer, the bugs entered and found that there was only an irregularly connected tunnel inside.
There was a small glass ball floating in the center.
“[The signal came from inside]”
“Don’t tell me there’s a microscopic world inside?”
Facing Lo Ya’s question, the Brain Insect shook its head, indicating that it did not know either.
“Let’s start with the exploration ship.”
Under Lo Ya’s request, many bugs joined in the research work. The Brain Insect continued to communicate with the individual inside. Finally, they heard the other party say, “Our standards are different. Are you the universe?”
“The other party asked if we are a universe. It can be seen that they do not know what is communicating with them.” Brain Insect No. 1 guessed, “The other party used a method similar to receiving microwave background radiation to receive signals. Our mental communication is treated as a type of signal. They also believed that there was an existence on a larger scale that was conversing with them.”
Lo Ya rolled her eyes, “I still feel it is very strange.”
The complexity of the atomic scale was not enough, and the internal structure could not possibly have the foundation to constitute life. Discussing whether life existed seemed to be somewhat disrespectful to science.
“Maybe… this is another dimension talking to us? Didn’t they say the high dimension is curled up in the microscopic world? Perhaps there is some kind of connection between the higher dimension and us… or even more directly, we have a conversation with the living beings of the parallel universe.”
“Does the parallel universe really exist?”
Lo Ya expressed her doubt.
Above level 5 civilizations, there was actually a need to completely analyze the dark matter domain, which was also the various research done by the Insect Girl Clan. Those who could fight with the demons in Dark Matter Universe were basically all at the fifth level or above.
And the so-called Sixth Grade Civilization had actually already reached the limits of the normal usage of materials.
Further up, people had no choice but to consider those strange and bizarre ten thousandth chance.
For example, dimensions, karma laws, these kinds of illusory things. Otherwise, they really wouldn’t know how technology would develop.
“The advanced civilizations mentioned by the human civilization are not the same concept as ours. Those are existences that truly involve certain taboo areas. Perhaps this eight-sided spaceship was left behind by that kind of civilization?”
Lo Ya believed this point.
She let the Brain Insect study it. After more exchanges, she gradually confirmed that the target was communicating with the insects by receiving a large scale signal.
This meant that the scale of both parties was completely different. It was only by coincidence that they met on the channel that this kind of conversation was realized.
“They said our recovery speed is very slow. A signal will take a long time… It will take tens of thousands of years before we can communicate with each other once. The one who answered them last time was their ancestor.”
“Pfft, what’s going on? It’s not a prank, right?” Lo Ya was a little speechless.
“The Spirit’s analysis isn’t lying. Due to some differences, for the first time, spiritual communication is unable to decipher the target’s thoughts. It is possible that both parties do not exist in the same manner.”
“Alright.”
The Brain Insect were more and more certain that the target was a microscopic world. Furthermore, the time scale of both parties seemed to be different.
After the frequency of communication increased, the other side started to reply in seconds, so Lo Ya received the message even faster. But each reply from the other side indicated how many tens of thousands of years they had gone through.
“Is there an explanation for this phenomenon?” Lo Ya really wanted to know the reason.
At the beginning, the Cerebrate Bacteria tried to use some kind of quantum law to explain. Later on, it thought from another angle and instantly knew the reason.
“Maybe we can use our own universe as an analogy. Assuming that we are a microscopic civilization, and that we are communicating with a huge scale. Beyond that. A civilization at the level of the universe. When we were collecting the signal, we received a message from outside the universe. At the same time, we have to send our own signal outside the universe.”
“What do you mean?” Lo Ya felt that she had caught a trace of inspiration.
“Speed is the fastest speed, but it is also limited. Everything in the universe is limited by this speed, even if it is guiding the ship. It’s actually limited. A normal civilization’s space communication would have a delay at a certain distance, let alone these messages that did not have space acceleration. Thus, we must expand this information to a large scale. Think about it, in the current situation, a signal flew out of this universe at the highest speed. It will take at least 100 billion years.”
Lo Ya’s eyes lit up. “In other words, it took hundreds of billions of years to send a signal back and forth?”
“Yes, to a deeper level, how fast is a large scale of life? If there was a life as large as the universe, then their thinking speed would definitely slow down because of the distance. Even if the universe was an entire life form, then the second it felt it, Or perhaps… It sees a huge message, from receiving to responding to the time it experienced… For us at the microscopic level, it’s an incomparably long time.”
